OneKU supports these students and their activism, which counters the administration’s simplistic characterization of student preferences. We welcome the opportunity to join together with our students and raise our voices in concern. 5/5
#DefendKU
No academic program should be eliminated based only on one aspect of its work.
OneKU stands in solidarity with our Humanities colleagues, and in support of the principle that faculty set the curriculum.

We hope that you will pose these or similar questions to the Provost and the Chancellor during Wednesday’s town hall. We await their answers.

Over the past 5 years, our CFI score has improved. KU faces financial difficulties. But the administration’s exaggerated language leads us in a harmful direction. This is a time for careful budgetary consideration of our priorities, not drastic and reactionary cuts. 3/3

.@UnivOfKansas just launched a new, public tool advertising our research excellence and productivity....in the same month that @KUprovost launched a new budget that ignores all of those dollars and contributions. Awkward.

In short: we do more, for less. We make KU work -- and for students, it’s working. And yet, @KUprovost still wants to make deep cuts to academics, rather than to the administrative bloat. Tell her no. 3/3 #DefendKU
Our international reputation draws students from all over the world - more than 1500 international graduate students, from 81 countries. Graduate students are critical to maintaining the university’s strong, scholarly profile. We support these essential workers. 5/5

KU has faculty, staff, and students with substantial expertise and experience in the areas of discrimination, justice, and access. We must have an active seat at the table if KU is to do more than just talk about diversity and inclusion. 6/6

More Grad Student Excellence: Matt Comi in #Sociology won an NSF grant for his studies of farmers and how they use technology. Many applications to vital midwest farmers!
